Welcome

Welcome to my investment blog where I share with you my analysis of REITs in Singapore.

I hope that my investment philosophy will bring me a steady stream of income apart from my job. I am aiming for at least $3,000 per month which can sustain the current expenses of myself and my family.

Do enjoy reading my blog and post any comments that you have. I welcome them because it is a time to learn from each other.

When I am looking at investing in REIT, here are some of the guidelines that I am looking at. Feel free to comment on it. I am willing to listen to ideas.

-> at least 8% yield.-> Price that is lower than its NAV.-> Low gearing (if possible)-> High secured NAV.

Updates on my Current Holdings

Many things has happened where I have not updated my portfolio on this blog. Thus, here are all the updates.

I sold Saizen REIT earlier to raise funds to buy OUE Hospitality Trust to participate in their rights issue. It turns out that I regret it as I earn $1,000 lesser. However, it is compensated because after participating in their rights and subsequently subscribing to their excess rights, I earned about $600. Thus, I still earn something which I thought was nice.

Here is my portfolio which comprises of $215,000 worth of investments and $20,000 debt. It is giving me a net monthly income of $1,700 which is pretty good for me. Have been enjoying the dividends for quite some time now and it is really a strong passive income for my family.

Thanks for sharing your spreadsheet, and for sharing your analysis too. I find it very useful. I noticed that your portfolio is heavily weighted in Industrial, which is facing a oversupply. Be careful on holding to these stocks

Hi jc, Holding S reit to earn passive monthly income can be even high risk investment. This is my 1st venture experience to share. I found that there is nothing i can do then hold on to it. Would like to hear yr comment on S reit investment experience. How to exit from it to lower my loss..

You got to evaluate whether it is still a good buy (rather than sell) at this current price with this yield, NAV, credit rating etc. If you think that it is a good buy, then you may well just hold on. If you have something better which is more worthwhile to invest, then can change.

As REIT investors, we are usually in for the long haul so usually should be able to endure the drop.
